Wood interior trim panel/ Carbon fiber Swap done
Having just purchased a certified pre owned CLS550 the one thing I did not like was the rather ugly and unfitting wood interior trim panels. I set out to find a conversion, I came across the carbon fiber panels. At a cost of $2000 for the kit I wanted to look at other options first. I have done work with the 3M wrap before. It has last years in exterior panels such as hoods so I knew it would outlast the car on the inside. If it did not look good the worst that could happen is I have to remove it. After about 8 hours and a a little under $100 I can't believe how amazing it looks. Even added a little under the hood just for fun.

I got if actually of Amazon. It was cheaper. 12sq/ft was about $40. Also got a few exacto-knives and a heat gun. All was under $100. I did remove them. That's very important. But the big one that runs all the way across the dash was the hardest to get out but I was hunting for screws. Now that I know where they are and what order to remove stuff I could get al the panels back out again in less that an hour I'm sure.
